First, a disclaimer, new to Linux. That being said I wonder is anyone can
shed some light on the install
and disk parititioning. I have three hard drives, first two dedicated to
Windows 98. The third one I
just installed as a primary on the secondary ide channel. I deleted the
paritition and proceded with the
Linux install (Red Hat 6.1 by the way). I get to the disk druid and try to
created parititions, I first
created the swap space with 100 meg, things ok so far. Then when I try to
create the boot or
root partition I get the error message stating "unallocated partitions
exist" with the error message
of "reason undefined". I have looked on RedHat's site and searched the
newsgroups but
haven't found anything yet Thanks in advance.

Edit /etc/lilo.conf and make sure the NT partition is listed, then just above
the linux information put default="<nt label>"
where <nt label> is what appears in LABEL= ... in the NT section.
Afterwards, type lilo and you should see linux and nt with a * next to the NT.

You can set its properties to hide, or you can click one end to move it
off to the side, but I don't believe you can make it completely go away
as long as Gnome is running. It's simpler to shut Gnome down and run
Enlightenment alone. You will still have access to all Gnome and KDE
utilities, due to Enlightenment's built-in compatibility.

Solution found: I got a hub and used that in place of the direct
crossover cable.
Before I had tried this, I talked to a friend who told me to try taking
down the linux network interface and then bringing it back up
('ifconfig eth0 down' followed by 'ifconfig eth1 up') after the network
has gone down due to the NT machine being rebooted. I did this, and lo
and behold, the network connection came back up.
This told me that when the NT machine is rebooted, it causes something
at the hardware level between my 2 Netgear cards and the crossover
cable to get out of sync, and when I take the linux network interface
down and back up, it resets something, and the network gets back in
sync.
Or better yet, network hubs are real good at syncing things up. When I
tried using the hub instead of the crossover cable, everything was fine.

GPM was not the problem. However, when I changed mouseconfig
to generic ps/2 (it was set to intellimouse) everything
started working. It's strange that it was working with a
directly-connected ps/2 mouse.
Thanks to all of you whose questions pointed me in the

Try putting the boot partition at the start of the HD. I believe
Disk Druid is written in such a way that it needs either the boot
partition or the root partition, if you do not have a boot partition,
before sector 1024. With newer BIOSs and with the latest version of
LILO, this should no longer be an issue, though I am not sure whether
the latest version of LILO has made its way into any distributions
yet.

You will need to configure LILO properly in order for this to work.
Check out the following link for a copy of the LILO mini-howto:

/etc/mtab is a file that's handled by the OS itself; you should never
touch it. To access your partition, you should do three things:
1) Change its partition type using Linux's fdisk. This will prevent
Windows from trying to use it. (If your system will now be
Linux-only, this step may not be required, but I'd still recommend it
to avoid confusing Linux installers whenever you upgrade your OS.)
2) Create a new filesystem on the partition. Presumably you want to use
ext2fs on it, so you'd use mke2fs or mkfs -t ext2 (they're exactly
equivalent).
3) Add or change the /etc/fstab entry for the partition to mount it
someplace convenient. If you want to use it to store files you
already have (say, to store /usr/local or some such), then you'll
need to transfer those files in some way and delete them from the
original partition. The usual way to do this is to temporarily mount
the new partition somewhere convenient (like /mnt/floppy), use tar or
cp to copy the files, and to remove the original tree. You can then
change /etc/fstab, unmount the temporary mount, and type "mount -a"
to get everything mounted the way it should be. If you want to do
this for any critical system files, you may need to do it from a boot
floppy or some such.

Sure. This is my /etc/lilo.conf file. Edit as necessary but you
should get the general idea. Basically you compile the new kernel,
move it to your boot (or root) partition, then add an entry for
the new kernel.
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20

Sure. This is my /etc/lilo.conf file. Edit as necessary but you
should get the general idea. Basically you compile the new kernel,
move it to your boot (or root) partition, then add an entry for
the new kernel. At the LILO prompt, I type either "old_kernel" or
"linux". The default, if I don't choose one, is "linux" as defined
by the "label=" line.
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20
label=old_kernel
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.12-20.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda8
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.16.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda8

We have been running Slackware kernel 2.0.38 for a year. Unfortunately,
over last two months, the Linux box seems to be very unstable. It crashes
with a blank screen and all the connections are dropped.
There is no error messages I can find on the /var/admin/messages file. We
are only running a very simple Linux firewall using IPFWADM and an email
application too. I don't notice any problem with disk space and free memory
either.
What could be the problem? Any recommendation for trouble-shooting would be
appreciated. Thanks.

You will need to make a TCP connection between that other machine and
the Linux box which is collecting the data stream. You will also need
to run some sort of copy command from the data stream's serial I/O
device to the TCP connection.
For instance:
On "other machine" telnet to the Linux box and log in. then
issue the shell command cat /dev/ttyS0 (or whatever serial
device is connected to your data stream). The data stream will
come to the other machine as the stdout of the telnet command,
so you can redirect it there. Note you may need to use
"setserial" to configure /dev/ttyS0.... If "other machine"
runs a sensible OS you could put all this into a script there;
but if it runs Windows this may be difficult....
Other methods are certainly possible (e.g. open the connection using
Java or Perl or C/C++ on "other machine")....

Good.
It's a real shame that the physical address of the spammer / UCE
abuser is not published somewhere after it is determined that the user
has indeed committed a TOS violation.
I think a law should be passed making this sort of thing a crime. A
crime punishable by having the physical location and home phone number
of the abuser published so that some wacko and take bloody
retribution. Better yet, if the spammer, like Sanford Wallace (sp?)
is within driving distance of the Philadelphia area, he can be tossed
into the Skuykill (can't be spelled right by anyone) river while live
and tied to a chicken. The South Street bridge would be an excellent
launch point. The Delaware river and the sewage treatment outlet pipe
are down stream from that point.

If you didn't make any software changes, then it's hardware. The first
suspect is heat. That means your ventilator on the cpu. Is it still
turning?
